David V. Omnipod® Ambassador since 2020
David Van Der Vloet is a triathlete father of two who loves to cook. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1999.
“I was reluctant to try a pump because I thought it would be inconvenient for someone who exercises several times a day, especially for swimming†, but soon as I heard the Omnipod DASH® was being released in Belgium I contacted my diabetes team. I was one of the first people in Belgium to use the Omnipod DASH® - it basically felt like a big CGM on my body!"
When she first put on the Pod, she said it made her feel so free that she danced around the kitchen!
When Myrthe isn’t travelling and blogging, she loves hanging out with her friends, cooking and relaxing. Myrthe was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 4 years old but only went ‘tubeless’ in her twenties with the Omnipod® System.

I think pump choice is really important for anyone…
Jade B.
Podder® since 2018
I would definitely recommend pump therapy. I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s made such an improvement to my life.
Lucy L.
Podder® since 2009
What I like with a pump, being a runner, is if I am going for a run I can manage my temporary basal reduction, I can set that off, and it gives me the confidence I need.
